I'm on my fourth section, and I would say the first three were all relatively the same. The only difference was I was knocked out for my second, so that one was actually the hardest for the first couple of days.

The biggest thing I would say is have LOTS of help on hand those first few weeks at home, because with TWO little ones already needing you plus a newborn, it's a lot harder to take care of yourself properly, and it's very easy to overdo it!

I had my third on April 26. It was my best and easiest recovery and did include a tubal. The surgery took a bit longer to deliver my son Bc of all the scar tissue and doc did say he was glad I was done for my sake. I made a conscious effort to recover faster and did research on it. I ate whole fresh pineapple with the core and took mega doses of vitamin c and zinc after, and I drank collagen powder everyday. I also took half the amount of narcotics and started walking asap after the surgery. I cannot believe the difference it made! Within a week I was walking a mile a day and now I'm up to four miles a day a month later. I was back in my jeans in three weeks and only took the narcotics for four days. I still am limiting how much and what I do, but it has been sooooo much better than my last two! Also I'm super excited about being able to enjoy sex right away without having to deal with birth control, so if you are sure you are done having kids I'd totally recommend the tubal.

My 2nd was the easiest, I recovered very fast and well. Last pregnancy my boyfriend said he would get snipped so I'm thinking I think we should do that this time. Idk if I would want the tubal, because that would make me more nervous. I'm still early but excited about our third but nervous becuz all my kids would be under the age of 3.

My third was by far the easiest for me. My first two I was put under for and were 14.5 months apart, so I'm thinking that could've been the difference. This csection was 15 years later.

They had me up and walking around about two hours after surgery and I couldn't believe how little pain I had. I had to walk back and forth every three hours to the NICU the first night my little guy was born to feed him and it was a fair distance. I had no issues at all.

I'll be having my fourth in November, so I'm hoping for a recovery like my last. Haven't decided about getting my tubes tied at the same time yet though.

My third one went well. I did have pain. The hospital wasn't good so that was a bad experience since I was trying for a VBAC but we were both healthy. i have my fourth in January and this time I'm going to a better hospital. Not trying to VBAC just scheduling. My husband feels it would be better an safer& though disappointed, I agree with him.
